Prayers Please

Hello everyone, we have some tragic news. A really good friend of Tom's and his dad died this weekend in a freak accident. Please pray for the Torrey family. Thank you!

Dead bird anyone?

So, today Alex was playing outside by himself in our backyard. He was wearing bib overall shorts.... Petty soon he comes running to the door yelling, "mommy, mommy, a sea gull, a sea gull." I'm thinking to myself, "what in the world." He comes inside and is pulling out the front pocket of his overalls and pointing at something in there saying, "a sea gull, a sea gull." I"m still totally baffled and I look into the pocket an see something gray that looks like a rock. "okay, maybe it is a rock that looks like a bird," i think to myself. I reach into the pocket to pull out the rock and I grab something that is soft and feathery. AHHHHHH, I realized that it is a dead bird. After totally freaking out and almost throwing up, I grab Alex's hands and then I rip off his overalls and drag him to the bathroom and disinfect both of us. I had to shake his overalls hard cause the bird was stuck in the pocket. ( He must have really had to stuff it in.) So, I'm still freaking out inside, but outside I calmly explain that we never touch dead birds cause they are icky and can make us sick. So, you gotta love it. :-)
